5. LZX Compression, yes or no? anyone running into any issues w/ it?

anything else needed added or removed?

I cooked a 28014 ROM last night w/ opera 10.3 + Google 4 + Youtube.....still was using LZX Compression.....still had 80mb storage, but really, I dont need all that space, and if it runs better w/o compression, I can easily sacrifice the small amount of storage.
I'm for stable/fast over recent. I second the poster that suggests Opera 10 go to Internal Storage if only because setting all the cache paths by hand gets tedious. But since the Diamond storage is non-removable, could you cook these smarter values in? Another issue I've had was with \Application Data\Volatile filling up my device when Outlook went all stupid on me. I think this can be set in HKLM\System\FileSys by editing the TempPath key. And as I mentioned, I'd like to see Opera work out-of-the-box if it comes cooked in to 6.5 w/ 2.1. This involves either disabling Push Internet (why is it enabled? is it useful?) or editing \Windows\27c65cbd_manila to add a:
NavigateUrl="http://something..."
in the <Banner ... /> section (pretty straightforward.)

Finally, I settled on your 6.5 2.1 ROM after a long search because of the inclusion of a minimum of essential apps, the speed, and the amount of free space (less than 50-60m wont cut it for me.) I don't know what the trade-off is for LZX, but I think you already have found a sweet spot for space vs. performance. Unless the performance hit is rather small, you'd probably risk less by cleaning \Windows or clearing out png/jpgs or stripping things out of .dlls (phcanimages.dll is out of control! 10meg of bitmaps for a dialer?! see: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86398&page=2 and now that I use iDialer/iContacts I wonder if I need it at all...)

PS. Anyone out there found a SIP program for VoIP they actually like? I've tried PortSIP, Talkonaut, Fring... all are somewhat underwhelming. And how much can I use Google Voice+SIP for free calls before Spring will notice?
